Knowledge Article Vs KB Record

Dynamics CRM, after its recent association to Parature, has come up with a new entity called Knowledge Base Record. The name of this new entity is very similar to the legacy Knowledge Article entity which has always existed in Dynamics CRM for its native knowledge management functionality.
